Lyrics

(Present arms!)
You got no job, you got no pay
Join the military, sign today
They'll send you off to fight on foreign shores
Be your mother's pride and joy
Her arms are dangerous, golden boy
They'll pay you to protect what isn't yours
Be your mother's pride and joy
Her arms are dangerous, golden boy
A uniformed hero shows no fear
The khaki ranks of flesh and steel
Learning how to smile and kill
They'll teach you to ignore the screams and tears
Be your mother's pride and joy
Her arms are dangerous, golden boy
A uniformed hero shows no fear
The khaki ranks of flesh and steel
Learning how to smile and kill
They'll teach you to ignore the screams and tears
Written by: Ali Campbell, Brian Travers, Brown Jim (Gb 2), Earl Falconer, Michael Virtue, Norman Hassan, Robin Campbell, Terence Wilson
